Graphic Design: Paper Craft Project Inspired by The Little Prince

Ad

Le Petit Prince is a graphic design project created and shared by Rafa Miqueleto. It was a commissioned work done inspired by The Little Prince movie. One of the coolest things about this project is the tools and materials used. It's a paper craft full of style. The details and the dimensionality added by layers of papers and folds is just beautiful. In addition to that, and the most amazing in my opinion, is the irregularities of the cuts. I have tried to do this type of work in Illustration and Photoshop, however it always end up looking to uniform or computer generated. Nothing can beat the real deal, it's almost a homage to graphic design projects from a different era, an era without computers.

Ola Jasionowska is a graphic designer and illustrator from Warsaw, Poland with some amazing illustration work. I particularly love the posters created in 2017 and shared on Behance. When I saw the poster design project, it kind of reminded me of Saul Bass poster and style, very simple and bold. The color palette and combinations are also top notch. I could have all of these posters hanging on my walls, but my favorite has to be the David Bowie one.

We would love to share the work from Attila Hadnagy who is a designer and illustrator. Based in London, UK, he has a really nice combination of skillset and today we are showcasing his 2017 collection work on logos. I personally think creating logos are part of what I love doing the most about our work. Creating the visual identity, the very first step is somehow such a long and rewarding process. For which in the end will determine how your clients with go head-to-head into their business and goals.

Joshua M. Smith, AKA Hydro74 is one of our favorite designer, he has a beautiful portfolio of typography, illustration and graphic design work for all sorts of clients. His style is quite unique and you can spot his work pretty easily when you see it. That's the case of the Altruism Playing Cards that he created for the The Blue Crown.
Recently I had a chance to work The Blue Crown to create a deck of cards for the Altruism Series. The concept was using a Owl I've already created and trying to figure out a core structure that would work.

Craig Minchington used one of the Mike Harrison projects as base for his 3D work and the result is quite outstanding. Mike's work was already iconic and and had a great level of depth even though it was a solid/flat composition. After Craig's full 3D version it's amazing to see how intricate the composition is and the level of details Craig added with the textures and light effects.
This is my interpretation of an original project produced by Mike Harrison.
